Download or read book The Boothbay Playhouse written by Jerry Vermilye and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built to resemble an old New England barn, the Boothbay Playhouse operated from 1937 to 1974, under two separate managements, as a professional summer theatre. In the old-resident-company tradition, a different play was presented each week from June to September- and at prices that seem unbelievable today. But even then the challenge of filling seats was a perennial uphill battle that led to ongoing financial crunches for both managements until surmounting losses forced its closure. This is the story of that landmark theatre's trials, triumphs and tribulations, told by someone who was there for five of those 37 years. Illustrated with 60 photos, the volume also features casts and credits for all Playhouse productions
Download or read book The Boothbay Harbor Region written by Jim Harnedy and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1995-06 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wonderful photographic history shows how much, and yet how little, has changed over the century from 1870 to 1970. The Boothbay Harbor Region was one of the first parts of the country to be colonized by European settlers, and for over 370 years it has been a home for boat builders, fishermen, farmers, and artists, as well as a vacation destination for more than a century. The Region has maintained its tranquility and sense of tradition throughout and it is fascinating to see farmers ploughing their fields using oxen as late as the 1940s. These photographs show us the faces and places that make up the Region's history: old buildings now long gone, a president's visit and Hollywood film sets, devastating fires and destructive storms, people walking on the frozen bay in the winter and haying in the summer, fishermen and yachtsmen plying the waves, ship launches and shipwrecks. We see church congregations, school sports teams, grizzled sailors, hardworking farmers, a hot dog king, and ordinary families - the ordinary folk of the Boothbay Harbor Region and the intricacies of their day-to-day lives in this beautiful area.
